Disconnect on Afghanistan

A good example of the disconnect between popular opinion and the elites in government. The US House just voted at 93-321 to reject a resolution to end the war (so 75% of the House wants to continue the war), but US popular opinion is the opposite: 73% say the US should withdraw a substantial number of US troops from Afghanistan this summer, while 64% think the war in Afghanistan was not worth fighting (see Questions 24 and 25).
